Yeah, each one of those Ferrari badges is probably made from shredded $1000 bills.

Enjoy!

Thanks Mr Gatsby, in the other V1-R thread there was a little negativity towards the prancing horse.

Thanks for the positive words, I was in the bike shop the other day. Saw the frame for the first time, got the main parts weighed up. Will post the pics shortly.

Was supposed to be picking her up tomorrow but just heard their supplier didn't send enough Nokon cables. Not a happy bunny :(

Ha ha, all worked out in the end. The guy that did my fitting cycled across London to find the rest of the Nokon kit.

Picked her up this morning, she is a thing of beauty.

Am yet to get any decent pics... bear with me kind Sir.

No where near as light as the other V1-R which I'm confused by, the Zipps lose at least 200g on the Mavics but that doesn't explain it all.

Mine comes in at 6.73kg in current specification. How's things Sora?

Marty , 6.7 is a little higher than what I would expect also. What size frame is it ? I am the one who complained about the heavy 50sl. A 100 grams heavy on thee frame and then a not so light fork and the seat post (208) do add p. I'm just finishing putting mine together and hoping for mid 13 teens. I have modified the seat post clamp and using Aican cables, extralight stem, extralight hubs with Enve hoops with 9070 di2 so will see.
Sent kenmem an e-mail but never heard back. Frame came with 1 1/8 slim steel washer, does any one know, does this go between the headset and the colnago cap ?

It's a 54, the same gruppo and wheels weighed 7.4kg on my F3:13.

How did you modify the seat post clamp?

I wasn't there when they built up the frame so don't know about steel washer I'm afraid.

I want to get some pictures up but the weather is terrible here at the moment so have not had the opportunity for decent photography yet.

The OP did get back to me in the end, I don't think he's on very often though.
